CIVIL CASES
UTTOR.ET.GEERAL CKAWEOKD
HOLDS THAT THE COLLECTIOX
OF FEES BI 8HEKIFFS, EXCEPT
IX SOME SPECIAL CASES, IS
' AGAI.XST THE LAW.
It Assistant Attorney-General Craw
ford Is correct In his construction of
the law and he cites a supreme court
ruling to sustain him any sheriff
who In the past, or who Is now col
lecting fees In civil cases, save In a
few specific Instances, and turning
them over to the county treasurer is
doing so without authority of law.
In his opinion the assistant attorney-general
traces the law back to the
beginning, and concludes that flat sal
ary act has superceded all laws au
thorizing sheriffs to collect fees in
lrll case. The opinion will be
sweeping in effect, as there is not
county In the state In which sheriffs
have not and are not collecting fees
in such cases, and have cited as their
authority for doing so an old law,
which the assistant attorney-general
maintains is repealed.
The opinion is rendered at the re
quest of Wils Smith, of Grants Pass,
sheriff of Josephine county. The as
sistant attorney-general calls atten
tion to section 3126 of Lord's Oregon
Laws, the act authorizing sheriffs to
collect fees for their compensation.
This act was passed in 1874. In 1891
the legislature amended the law, and
two years afterwards chapter IS of
title 25, providing salaries for all
county officers. Instead of fees, as
compensation, was passed. It con
tained a clause, however, providing
that sheriffs might collect fees in civil
cases and turn them over to the coun
ty. In 1895 this same act was again
amended, and then the clause refer
red to eliminated, and the assistant
attorney-general, because of this, gives
It as his opinion that It was not the
Intent of the legislature that a sheriff
should collect tees In civil cases eith
er for his own benefit or the county,
or for any other purpose, save In a
few isolated cases, where the author
ity is specifically given by statute.
It Is possible that the opinion will
not affect Multnomah county, as it Is
understood to be operating under a
special law on the subject but every
other county in the state will be af
fected. o
